about a 5 mile radius from JWA. Newport Beach perhaps?
The Waterfront Huntington Beach
Hyatt Regency Newport Beach
The Island Hotel Newport Beach
Pelican Bay Resort Newport Beach
Depending on what day you are there, they may have live music in the courtyard.
There are a few.
The HILTON is right across the street.
A couple of Marriotts close.
Ayres Suites is 6-7 minutes away, all good choices
1) Hotel Irvine- after it was renovated it is pretty much the best find around the airport I can think of. But, of course it is always nice visiting Newport Beach, in which case, my second suggestion is:
2) Newport Beach Marriott Hotel & Spa.
Have a fantastic trip while in the OC!
